Born on Java and spending my childhood in Indonesia, Australia, Burkina Faso and Pakistan, I’ve been conditioned to value diversity and see reality through multiple perspectives 🙂 including the perspective of an outsider.
Returning to the Netherlands and western culture as a teen was a profound culture shock which triggered a depression and anxiety attacks. I felt disconnected from Spirit that was so present in the cultures I had grown up in and intuitively knew that this was the root of my inability to cope. Psychologists only offered me pills. I tried yoga a few times but found the available classes just as rigid as the society I felt stuck in. Back then, there was very limited availability of different forms of therapy. So I sought out mindfulness based meditation practices through books and began a journey of inner inquiry. Though these practices were helpful at cultivating awareness, focus and acceptance I still experienced occasional bouts of grief with little understanding why and ability to transform it.
In 2013 an energetic act of grace took place. I decided to do a yoga teacher training to give yoga another chance. Maybe a training would teach me the deeper layers of yoga that the asana-based classes lacked? Two weeks after making that decision, while working at my desk, physical reality spontaneously melted into an intimate, interconnected weave of color vibration with no separation of form or experience of distance. After the moment faded I felt both awe and shaken to the core. Many fundamental beliefs about reality and Self dissolved. In retrospect, this prepared me to meet my Anahata teacher, Peter Clifford ‘Premananda’ and begin training in the transformative, multidimensional practices of the Anahata and 5 Element Tradition. During that first training, I was also initiated in into the yoga nidra meditation practice by Swami Layananda who studied with Swami Satyananda, the yogi who coined the term ‘yoga nidra’.
Though I spent several years learning with Peter’s guidance, the transformative effects of the first few practices were so profound that I knew I had finally found my home in yoga. But why and how were the practices effective?
A curiosity to understand the trance practices (meditations beyond mindfulness) from a modern standpoint began the journey of studying healing-hypnotherapy, trance and the subconscious mind. Which is how I became a hypnotherapist. Working one on one with clients eventually lead me to study hypnotherapy’s shadow; trauma-based mind control or how the effects of trauma control the architecture of the mind.
Though my journey does not end here, this bio does with a final synopsis. All the modalities and healing practices I’ve learned along the way bring me deeper understanding of the ancient wisdom embedded in the Anahata and Five Element practices. It’s the home I always return to and a home you are more than welcome to make your own too.
Hope to see you around beautiful yogi 😉
Namaste
